I'm looking to put in some weld-in hush thrush turbo mufflers for a little bit of a sound increase. I was wondering if anybody knew the size and offset of the stock mufflers because I want to make the job as easy as possible.

I was looking to put in a full exhaust headers back but I'm a first year teacher and just found out my wife is expecting so for now I just want a little more noise.

2.5" in/out

I was also looking to see if anyone knew muffler length and offset.

mufflers dont usually come in different offset sizes.they are usually just "center/center" or "offset/offset" followed by the pipe size. at least thats all ive seen from being on magnaflow and summit etc.

if stock pipes are 2.5" then look for " 2.5" offset" mufflers:

as far as the body of the mufflers is concerned id guess to be this size:

stock pipe is 2.25" so u get 2.5" so u have material to weld. i just got some summit chambered mufflers put on a month ago and got 2.5"

good point, if you bought 2.25" mufflers you would need to have adapters/sleeves made or buy them which slip over the pipes that are "butted" (sp?) together.

if you are bringing the car to a muffler shop you can just buy the mufflers in either 2.25" or 2.5" and they will make them work.

if you are going to do it, id prob go with 2.5" so the muffler pipe will slide over the stock pipe, then weld 'er up!

ORRRR you can get pipe clamps(not as good as a weld, nothing is as far as sealing) and buy 2.5" mufflers that way you can have ability to remove them and separate the "over axel to rear bumper" section and the rest of the exhaust. and also if you decide to change mufflers again you can simply unbolt them



also congrats on the little one on the way!

Mine are welded in. And ill be the one to tell you... Get 2.25... NOT 2.5

^^^^^^^^^^^^^mine are fine and i got 2.5"... whats wrong with them

Nothing is wrong, but the 2.25s match up better and weld up easier

could be, i didnt weld mine and dont know the first thing. they told me to get a little bigger opening to make it easier to weld so i did lol. guess it depends on the shop.
